found a solution using a different method:

<?Php
$xmlData = new SimpleXMLElement("servers.xml", NULL, true);
foreach ($xmlData->server as $server)
{
echo $server->hostname . ",";
echo $server->machtype . ",";
echo $server->tier . ",";
echo $server->sysadmin . ",";
echo $server->offset . ",";
echo $server->ntpd . ",\n";
}
?>
